    If you are talking about the finger size of a square ring then the
    best tip I have is directly from Orchid. I tried to find the original
    post but I seem to be search challenged this morning. But here is how
    I remember it: 

    Make a paper ring mandrill. Take a piece of copier paper (about 20
    lb should be good) and wrap it around the ring mandrill a few times.
    Tape it in a couple places so it holds together. Now take your ring
    sizers and slide them on one at a time and mark the sizes on your
    paper mandrill. Your paper mandrill can now be slid into almost any
    shape ring to determine what size it is.
